- 1恐跨的、歧視跨性別者的（對跨性別者懷有敵意、偏見或惡意對待）。注意：中文「恐」字容易讓人以為是「害怕」，實際重點是敵意與歧視。
Showing hatred, fear, disgust or unfair treatment towards transgender people — people whose gender is not the one they were assigned at birth.
A note on the '-phobic' ending, because it . In medicine, '-phobia' means a real fear you cannot control, like a fear of heights. But in words like 'transphobic' and 'homophobic', it does not mean the person is with fear. It means hostility, prejudice, contempt — treating a group as wrong or less than human. So a transphobic law is not a law; it is a law that harms transgender people. A transphobic joke is a joke that makes them the target.
It describes people, remarks, jokes, policies, attitudes, and whole institutions: 'a transphobic comment', 'transphobic abuse online', 'the policy is transphobic'. The related noun is 'transphobia'.
Register and weight: this is a strong accusation in English, not a neutral description. Calling someone transphobic is close to calling them a bigot, and in a discussion it will be heard as a serious charge, not a small criticism. It is a live political word — some people use it readily, others argue about where its edges are — so it appears constantly in news, social media and workplace policy, and it carries heat wherever it goes.
組成trans- here is short for 'transgender' (which itself is Latin trans 'across' + gender — a gender across from the one assigned) + -phobic, from Greek phobos 'fear', but used in modern social words to mean hostility and prejudice rather than fear.
